Making Adjustable Height Bar Stools 

From several perspectives (technical, artistic, and entertainment, among others) your videos are just fantastic. Thank you Neil!

I'm always impressed by how a woodworker can cut different geometries with such ease. Simple stuff here I know, but it still melts my mind.

I’d love a shirt that says “I’m not sure if that was the best way to do it... but it DID work”

Pask's woodworking skills are superb, however his videos are so pleasant to watch, the light is always impeccable, nice work.

It's always a good day when you upload a video! The threading box is brilliant. I'll have to que that video next.

You are definitly my favourite woodworker on RU-vid! Greetings from Belgium! 👍😁

The black wattle is gorgeous. I think a lot of people think this wood is rubbish. But as always you show otherwise. I think all wood is useful to some degree just need to be mindful of what you use it for. Well done as always 🎉🙂

Gorgeous results! I have a pine “screw stool” I bought at least 40 years ago at a trendy furniture store in Miami, FL!! Not nearly a nice as yours, the screw has much thicker threads, but is still with me in one piece through the abuse of my 3 kids over the years. Your craftsmanship is so inspiring! I just started following your channel today after looking for a design for a Murphy desk - found yours - another excellent creation, and well beyond my ability, though I’m going to use laminate on the desk surface like you did. My 9 y/o grandson asked me to “help” him make one for his room - can’t say no to that. 😊 Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Phenomenal, and gorgeous. That wood 'tap' is incredible. Well done, well done.

I really appreciate that you admit that you aren't sure if things will work, and will go back and fix them later if you need. Too many RU-vidrs etc. act like they know exactly what they are doing and every decision is perfect. Nice to hear someone admitting that's not how things work and sometimes you gotta take a punt, then come back and fix/improve it later if you need to

Favorite woodworking channel. It's amazing how you can inspire and excite me about woodworking while at the same time have me say "man I am definitely not as good as you are."

An excellent channel for the presence of Arabic translation, and we learn a lot about the matter of carpentry, and we follow you from Saudi Arabia. Thank you, Mr.

Amazing how much work goes into making what at first glance appears to be a rather simple (but elegant) piece of furniture.

There is nothing more calming and humbling than watching you make something, sir. It’s like spending the entire night at a remote beach watching the night sky while listening to the waves roll and crash.

Gorgeous, I love these videos- all the fat trimmed out. Talking only when necessary to describe what you're doing, no annoying background music, and gorgeous designs executed skillfully.

One of the best things I have gleaned from your videos is learning, understanding, and appreciating the "art" of the jig. Your work is very high quality and your skills are inspirational. Many thanks, best wishes, and stay healthy.

the thought and detail that goes into the project, filming and explanations are top notch. Love the attitude towards creating quality tools & jigs. I always learn something. thanks for sharing!

I just want to say that, this is an excellent creative video. Very well done.

Beautiful design/construction! Complimented very well by the black wattle! Definitely would love to watch you make more furniture with that wood. Thank you for sharing this.

Excellent work mr. Pask 👏 seeing so many your previous projects involved, making this one even better I'm sooo impressed

You recon right! They are great pieces of art which especially show off your expertise and craftsmanship! Lots and lots of tips here that fall over to other projects! Those spindles were absolutely perfect!!

Sir, my respect to you, for being one of the greatest Woodworkers walking this Earth. Greetings from Mexico.

Always brilliant, inspiring and helpful. All the tips for drilling and cutting are so useful. Thanks Neil, another super vid. Love those doggies.

You are definitely the king of the woodmakers all around the universe! I really love the way you work! Perfect! You think about every details and your hands serve your brain perfectly. Very well done :)

There were some difficult angles to work with, at least for us mere mortals! You, on the other hand, just sailed on like no worries. It really is fun to watch you tackle those issues. Those stools are simply beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.

you know the wood is hard when you can see your chisel's reflection

Neil, you've done it again! Those stools are GORGEOUS! Although the Pask family must all be blessed with tiny bums - those diminutive seats would never support the ample derrieres in my household!

This aren't simple stools,these are masterpieces my friend 👏 👏 👏 👏 !!!

That's beautiful wood, and the use of shop made tools makes it even better.

Neil , Absolutely Beautiful . Simple , elegant. You are a Credit to Australia and more than hold your own in the Makers Mob. Very Well Done.

Your attention to detail never fails to impress me. Thanks for posting!

Just spent two days in the shop making a table for my son... Come out and watch more shop stuff lol fantastic work mate always look forward to your vids Might have to burn the table though now after seeing this lol. Cheers

Brilliant. Thank you. I love this style of furnishings but the antiques market is ludicrously cost prohibitive. Again my thanks and admiration.

I am fully addicted to your videos. I've only found your channel recently after looking for some simple projects to do and have spent the last few weeks watching the videos in whatever order the RU-vid algorithm suggests them to me. It's been a true pleasure watching you work. I've been watching your subscriber count steadily grow and I can't wait until you hit 1 million. I can't think of an artist more deserving. Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration!

Very satisfying......threads look perfect, joints fit perfectly, dowels fit perfectly. Well done.

Those are beautiful stools. And the way they were built, amazing! I love both the process and the result.

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos mate as there's always satisfaction in each video. Stunning work chap.

F’ing stunning, love the corner dowels

One tip that I have seen used to help keep glue off the outside edges where it squeezes out when gluing thing together is to put a strip of take right along the outside edges. Then the glue squeezes out on to the glue and you just peal off the tape and squeeze out is handled.

Amazing project, Neil. In addition, you're setting a good example for safety, especially at the tablesaw, always using clamps and pushsticks. There are a lot of others these days... I like.

I'm from Brazil, I always watch your videos, they are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

You are a true master Neil. Such great builds. So professional and ingenious. Great video production quality too. Well done mate. Cheers from Arizona, USA.

Love them! I think you achieved what you wanted...beefing them up, but allowing them to remain elegant looking. Nice job!

That was an excellent video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The end result was fantastic. Combined with the hard wax finish the stools remind me of beautiful furniture made in another era. Keep it up, love your work! 🇦🇺

I'm always happy, whenever there is a new video from you. Great projects, never dissappointing! 👍🏾

What! No boiled linseed oil??! The hard wax oil looks amazing. It's nice to see black wattle being used like this. I mainly see it going into fire places and the BBQ here in South Africa.

Beautiful. Glad you tried and liked the Whittle waxes - they are my next purchase! Thanks for sharing your skills with us, Neil. Cheers 🍻🙏

If I could only watch one Channel, it would be yours! You NEVER fail to amaze me. Beautiful!

♫ Bar stool challenge, bar stool challenge ♪ ♬ They’re dark, not small, they stand quite tall ♫ ♪ And Internet loves them all ♬ (TOK)

What a great video. It's hard to say what I loved the most about it: the tools, the materials or the skills. Everything top! So to be on the safe side, I choose for the wood inspectors🐕

Stunning work Neil, just stunning. Did I mention you are genius? Very classical looking stools.

“This Aussie is just brilliant!” Comment I say out loud to myself multiple times in every video.

Excellent workman ship! That wood looks to be strong, hard and finishes beautifully.

Another masterclass in fine practicle woodwork. Cheers

Absolute works of art and so many clever tips and tricks that would never have occurred to me. Very nicely done sir

I did an audible “nice!” when you revealed the on-corner drill holes. So satisfying

As usual Neil, you make the complicated look easy. I have some homework to do before I attempt this. Like learning the thread cutting box, which I’m going to watch next. I would have really liked to have seen how you made the tapering jig. Thank you Neil for another great and challenging project. Can’t wait for the next one.

Great work as always!! Also, any video that starts out with your 2 shop buddies automatically gets a thumbs up!

Gorgeous looking. Beautifully built.

Lovely stools. Very nice wood. Your videos are always fun and informative. Greetings from Canada.

There are a lot of little tips and tricks that you use that I will find very helpful, thanks! Now I just need to get a few more of the essential shop equipment - Like a bandsaw, a lathe, an edge planer...

Love them! Great craftsmanship from start to finish. Thank you!

That is some beautiful wood! Great job on the stools also, they look fantastic! You have an amazing talent and it's great that you share that with the world! Cheers.

Well done Neil! Your videos are most entertaining! I always first check your site for new content.

Dude you're not a wood-worker, you're an artist. Every single project of yours is a real work of art.

you make it seem so easy and relaxing. fortunately i've tried some woodworking and know better. i'll never fall for that again.

I had an interest in carpentry years ago but it faded. The problem was two fold; First, the only commonly available materials in my area is limited. It's limited to spruce. That's pretty much it. The second reason was lack of talent. I truly suck at woodworking. That's why I became a welder.I can literally cut it twice! (If I mess up I weld it back on and recut it....LOL) In any event, I truly enjoy watching how you build your various projects. You have a remarkable talent and a great degree of craftsmanship in your work that is seldom seen these days. I wished I lived closer to you so I could purchase a thing or two from you but Australia to Canada freight would be a killer and there is no guarantee that anything would arrive undamaged. A project you might want to consider is building an arbour press. When you make your dowels you are hammering them through the dies. If you had an arbour press it seems to me that it would be much faster and simpler than hammering. Another thing I noticed was when you applied glue down into the dowel holes, you poked it in with an artist brush handle which is kind of messy. I would suggest to you that you make a special glue bottle end with an empty plastic refill from a ballpoint pen. Simple drill out an old glue bottle top so the refill fits it tight and then affix it with hot melt glue. Because it's small enough to go into your dowel hole you can inject the glue into the hole from the bottom up ensuring a more complete surface coverage. Clean it out after each use so it's ready for the next job. Just a suggestion.

Everytime I watch you make something I just want to go to shop and try it. That was great!

Beautiful work sir. Elegant result and a magnificent use of self made tools once again.

Considering that you made the first two a few years ago they still look very contemporary and as always another great build, well done Neil 👍🇬🇧

i showed my dad your channel while he was in the hospital & he fell in love. now hes out & we still talk about your videos. keep it up

Beautiful craftmanship, Neil. That black wattle wood looks awesome.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. If you aren’t a millionaire you should be and you should have your own TV show. Thanks for sharing Pask!

That black wattle lumber has such lovely color and figure. I was tickled to see that it looks much like the mesquite from Texas that I enjoy building with. Info on Wikipedia indicates both trees thrive in semi-arid temperature climates and have a similar growing habit, even to the bearing similar leaves and flowers. Many thanks for your inspirational and educational videos.

Thank you so much for your great work and videos. I'm really impressed of your talent and learned a lot of you. This video inspired me so much I built the same stools made out of reclaimed Rimu. A lot of work but they're stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Like these mate nice job. A glue clean up tip I got from Marius Hornberger (on youtube) was to use the "Unspeakable" plastic straw, push the end into the new glue joint and run it the length of the joint. The straw scoops the excesses glue squeeze out, when ya fill an inch/25mm of it snip it off start again. Your native woods look amazing btw

Great video. Easy to follow along. Stools look fabulous! Threads in wood is cool detail. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Thanks for this clear and enjoyable video mate. Good work. You're a clear headed craftsman. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Really like how that centre pieces ties it all in

22:35 Oooh that screw is so smoooth... Great job as always

Again, Neil, beautiful stuff well explained. A very elegant pair of stools. Thank you.

Neil, two words.. Master Craftsman! Bloody brilliant! Regards, Mark

*Whittle wax and Wattle wood;* a great combination Neil; who knew? The durability of the wooden threads really intrigues me. *Well done.*

Awesome work. It is always so relaxing to watch you video’s!! Thanks man for the great content!!

Still don’t understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. Your skills are incredible and you make everything look soooo easy. Keep the videos coming!

Thank you fro sharing this build, it looks amazing, and the process is cool!

Those look great Neil! Well done! I like the beefier look from the previous ones

I think they've turned out nicely... that is truly some spectacular looking wood....tons of great figure in them

Wow. Really great build. Those multiple angles are hard for me to wrap my hear around. Well done!!

I have the worst time getting my head around compound angles. So, this is amazing to me. Beside the technical skill involved, you've also made some really lovely stools there!

I'm not a woodworker but I'm addicted to your videos! I found you a couple weeks ago and seen almost all videos already

Those are absolutely beautiful. Well done!

Glad you use you powers for good . You have an amazing mind and great skill to go with it. Thank you for sharing

I have a pair of curved jaw cable shears that I use for cutting short dowels (both for joining and plugging). They're quicker than a saw and crush the fibers at the end making a bit of a radius for easy insertion.

Awesome! You are a poet with that wood.

Making your own furniture is the meaning of life! By the way the corner drilling guide was brilliant.

Mate them stools turned out perfect I"m not really into wood work ,may be the odd hammer handle . But I copied the forge you built and mate it works like a charm . And that threading tool it's amazing .

Thank you soooooo much. I've been looking online for videos or references to this type of stool for a while now and couldn't find anything. Perfect timing! HAHA

Beautiful as always. Loved the project.

Great Job. Again so much love and work on details. 😊 Thanks.
